2021 Citroen C1 Shine 1.0L Petrol · PY70 AEV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across its primary testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 24 October 2025 at 20,560 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a simultaneous failure entry on the same day. This contradictory failure and pass sequence suggests an administrative error or a minor immediate issue that was rectified instantly, as the subsequent pass confirms no mechanical or structural faults remained at that mileage. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,112 miles per annum. Between the October 2023 test at 14,141 miles and the 2024 test at 17,430 miles, the car covered only 3,289 miles. Another 3,130 miles were recorded in the year leading to October 2025. This low usage typically indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the risk of flat-spototted tyres or fluid degradation from stationary periods. Since the MOT history shows no advisories or recurring faults, a buyer should focus on physical signs of neglect common in low-mileage cars. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles are not used frequently. Check the rubber bushings and suspension components for cracking due to age rather than wear and tear. The lack of recorded structural issues suggests the chassis has remained well-protected throughout the vehicle's life.
